Police are responding to reports of shots fired at a hospital in Austin, Texas. The hospital has been placed on lockdown as a 'precautionary measure.'
Authorities in Austin, Texas, said Friday that there was no active shooter at a local hospital after police responded to a call of “shots fired.” “Officers have secured the scene and it is safe,” Austin police said on Twitter Friday afternoon. “This was not an active shooter incident. No injuries reported, roadways are expected to open soon.” There was no indication that shots were fired, Austin police said, adding there is no criminal investigation.
Brian Preusse later explained someone reacting to a loud noise inside the hospital emergency room was what led to the shots fired call and prompted the lockdown and facility search. “The hospital is back open again and secure,” Preusse said Friday evening. No patients were located, treated or transported from the scene, the Austin-Travis County EMS said on Twitter.
